The AMC I-6 was offered in the CJ's and the AMC Pacers, were they not? A
Pacer engine in a Jeep?

I'd think it would be about the closest thing you'll ever get to a new
XJ, wouldn't it ('cept for the loss of the 4 litre, of course)?

Re: Unlimited 4 door
 

It was in a Jeep before it was in a Pacer, so you could say it was a
Jeep engine in a Pacer <G>.

Although actually it's roots go a LONG way back as a Nash/Rambler
engine, and a great engine it is.

Guys correct me if I'm wrong, but if I were to do something stupid like
trade my XJ in for the nearest equivalent Liberty wouldn't I get
something heavier, slower, with worse gas mileage, lower reliability,
and of course a REALLY big hole in my bank account?
